Olive oil works better. Just wash with soapy water afterward so it doesn't smell like olive oil anymore.
I'll try it!

I find lighter fluid works great at removing sticker residue.

Also picked up Metro Redux at a great price of 39.99 new. Was 15 dollars off.

I'm just gonna warn you, If you actually ask for these kind of price adjustments to many times they will send you an email telling you they will now on follow each one you do very closely and if you keep it up they will close your account.
I had this happened because of them messing up my Mordor,Call of duty and Batman e3 preorders ( which they apparently don't believe they even held a deal for e3 ).
Alcohol based stuff works pretty well. Try body spray, hair spray or whatever you have on hand.
Damn, I missed the start of the FS sale. Pretty crazy that it's 60% off.
Question; is it 60% off one item per order? Only one item in my cart is getting the discount.
D'oh! I'm an idiot. Thanks for the help!
Edit: Darn, I really missed the boat on this one. Nothing left of particular value. On the bright side, I've been spending too much on games recently, so this probably a good thing.

Remember it's only 3DS, Vita and WiiU games.
MSRP was $60, now it's $45.

Fired off an email to Best Buy to price protect the games I bought. Worth a try.
Speaking of Amazon, I just realized I have a second Bayonetta 2 copy on there. Supposed to be delivered sometime between Oct. 31 - Nov. 6, lol. Can I cancel it without affecting the discounts on the rest of the order.
Oh, and I noticed Captain Toad is $44.99 on my order. Should I call them up, or will they add the discount before release?

I could call them up and how much are you getting your second copy of Bayonetta for?
$51, and with the additional 15% off once it ships, it should come to around $47.50. It's actually a few dollars cheaper than the one I got from BB.

anyone know a good site to purchase a 1TB internal hdd for the PS4?
NCIX, Memory Express, Tiger Direct, and New Egg are good places to start.

Not sure if this is the place to post this, but I have a Vita Slim that I've barely used and honestly, don't want.
If anyone wants to buy a Vita Slim let me know. I have the box and everything, minus the Borderlands 2 code. I'd be willing to sell the following for $220.
- Vita Slim (in box)
- Persona 4: The Golden
- Tearaway
- 64GB card
- Carrying pouch
PM if interested, Toronto Area. Otherwise, it's off to EBGames I guess since I really have no need for it, thought I'd ask here first.

Yeah. Or find your closest Canada Computers. They seem to be everywhere the days. Grabbed myself a 1tb Seagate SSHD (hybrid) from them for about $100.
Nintendo revealed the official price as $44.99 which Amazon dropped it to. However this didn't include the 15% off that originally applied. Other people in this thread got it adjusted to a lower price.
Thanks for the heads up. This is the only time I've tried to get a price adjustment from Amazon, but I'll keep that in mind for future orders.
In any case, they replied back saying they still won't drop the price, so I'm done trying to get it adjusted.
Thanks. I'll call them today to confirm.
Edit: Just called and they do take them. Wrote guy back and politely declined to buy the card.
Metal Gear Solid V Ground Zeroes on the PS4 is now at a more affordable price at amazon.ca
19.99 if you want physical.

Holy crap, I just remembered I have that game sitting on my PS4 digitally. Need to start it.

Trying to find a 3DS XL in stock at a Shoppers here in Guelph is proving to be impossible. Allllll sold out. But apparently they get new shipments in on Tuesdays and Thursdays?
The sale price is so good ($130), plus my Optimum points I'd be looking at one for $70.

You guys need to pick up a small bottle of Goof Off 2
http://www.rona.ca/en/remover-3514001--1
Takes off sticker residue and doesn't damage the plastic at all. And doesn't smell live olive oil either (I've never heard that one).

Go to Home Depot, get a bottle of Goo Gone, That stuff is the best at it.

I also learned that this is the stuff that places like EB uses to remove stickers as well.

id say price match a game from that walmart/BB/amazon sale and use the 10% on top of it
I seconded googone. That's what I currently have and it does its job for removing residue.

IIRC last year we only had deals for PS+
No. We only had the PS+ sales from last year and it was on Boxing day. The Target prepaid card sales were the first time in a while.

Yup, before that I remember some EBGames and Walmart sales on XBLA/PSN cards, same as the 25% off Target sale, but that was years ago.
I'm sorry but no game is worth paying out the ass unless you REALLY want to have it. GTA games go down in value eventually. Just wait it out. As for the Sony PSN promo, it will come again.
Besides, it just doesn't feel worth it. Well, it doesn't from my point of view.
I received my $40 DRIVECLUB from them the Thursday after launch.
Willing to break up some of that stuff? If you are how much for the memory card?
Goo Gone. Been using it for years now. If you can ignore the overwhelming citrus smell it's so great at removing residue from stickers. A big problem is that it rum quickly and can get in anywhere.
I have crazy OCD, so after I use Goo Gone and it's all inside the cases, the sleeves, I then go to the sink, rinse it out with warm water and soap and then hang them open over the towel rack. One time I used a hair dryer and it warped/melted the plastic on the outside. But yeah, Goo Gone is the best thing to have if you hate residue on game cases, Blu-ray cases, basically anything. Gets gum out-of carpets, etc.
I doubt we will get the price cut especially that they didn't change the MSRP despite our low dollar. Amazon don't have price guarantee but you can always try contacting their CS for price adjustment. Remember, they is not guaranteed.
$400 CAD = $350 USD, so I doubt it.
